Can We Downgrade iOS with Unsigned IPSW?

*Section 1: Why Are Some IPSW Files Unsigned, and How Does It Work?*
- Apple stops signing older iOS versions once they become outdated, meaning they no longer approve them for installation.
- Unsigned versions cannot be installed through official methods due to updated security protocols. Methods found online might be outdated and ineffective.

*Section 2: Get Various iOS Files & Safely Downgrade with ReiBoot*
1. Use ReiBoot to access available iOS files for upgrading or downgrading.
2. ReiBoot supports downgrades if Apple re-signs older versions or if the software supports them.

*Section 3: Can We Install Unsigned iOS Using SHSH Blobs?*
1. Earlier versions had tools to bypass signature checks, but this changed with iOS 5 due to new security features.
2. Newer iOS versions use complex security, making downgrades challenging without jailbreaking.

*Section 4: Tools and Their Limitations*
1. Tools like Future Restore used to work with SHSH blobs but are now unreliable.
2. Air Squared Blob Saver can save blobs but is not dependable for immediate downgrades.

*Section 5: Can Delay OTA Help with Downgrades?*
1. Delay OTA helps upgrade to recently unsigned versions, not for downgrading.
2. Useful within three months after signing ends.

*Section 6: The Reality of Downgrading*
- Downgrading from iOS 17.5 to iOS 16 on newer devices is nearly impossible with current methods.
- Best practices include avoiding updates or using safe tools like iTunes or ReiBoot for downgrades.

*🤨Understanding Key Terms and Resources*
*IPSW File:* An iOS firmware file used to update or restore iOS devices.
*SHSH Blobs:* Cryptographic tokens used to verify iOS firmware signatures, historically allowing downgrades but now largely ineffective due to advanced security measures.
*ReiBoot:* A tool for repairing iOS systems and managing firmware installations, offering safe downgrades and updates without data loss.
